How to ship high value item

[RelicSports]

Another shipping question...what is the best way to package a large magazine (Life Magazine)? Do you box it up? put it in a cardboard envelope? Any suggestions for safest transit is appreciated, thank you!

If you can go to your local pizza shop they might give you a new pizza box. Try to get one unfolded then fold it yourself inside out. They are sturdy, flat and not to heavy and perfect for shipping magazines, records, binders with cards etc. I should know. I've run a pizza restraunt for over 20 years. Hope this helps.

Get a large box that has two sides that are bigger than the magazine - your local grocery dumpster should have some. Chop it down to where each side on either side of a fold leaves about 1.5" around the magazine. Insert it with the binding against the fold, press down the remaining three sides and tape along those edges with packing tape. Write 'DO NOT BEND' on both sides and you are good to go.
